Show HN: Copywork – an app that helps you write like your favorite author

1 points by zoeangelis 13 hours ago

Hey HN,

I’m an aspiring writer who struggled with writer's block for months.

I found myself stuck in a cycle: read books on writing style, start writing, get overly perfectionistic, over-edit, get discouraged, seek more writing advice, and then put my book off again...

That’s why I built Copywork. It’s based on a proven writing practice used by authors like Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson. The idea is simple: copy the work of great writers word-by-word and absorb the style and structure without overthinking it.

I hope this web app helps you overcome writer’s block the way it has for me. Since this is my first app, I’d really appreciate any feedback to help me improve it. Thank you!

Zoe
